Here in Texas, we like to put our own spin on everything – including holidays. Little red barns are an iconic symbol of our state, and this one is full of Christmas cheer. Visit Holiday Acres in Manvel for a uniquely Southern twist on the most wonderful time of year.
Located on a 35-acre working farm just south of Houston, this festive farm is a surefire way to get into the holiday spirit. Whether you need the perfect venue for an event or just a place to gather with loved ones, there's no better way to experience the season's magic.
Picking out the family Christmas tree is a special event here at Holiday Acres. You'll take a hayride out into the farm while sipping hot cocoa or mulled cider, and little ones will have a blast frolicking amidst the greenery.
Shaking off loose leaves, wrapping the tree in netting, and securing it to your car are all services included with every purchase. Visitors are welcome Thursday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A wide selection of pre-cut trees and wreaths are available inside the farm for those who prefer not to do things the old-fashioned way. Avoid trekking through cold (and possibly muddy - we all know how unpredictable Texas weather can be) conditions, and still go home with a beautiful Tannenbaum.
Other holiday trinkets are for sale in the gift shop, ranging from ornaments to home decor and everything in-between. Pick up a few knick-knacks to make your home more cheerful than ever.
No farm excursion would be complete without petting a few animals. Miniature ponies, donkeys, and other adorable four-legged friends will bring a smile to your face and make the trip unforgettable.
Giant hay bales and fall leaves blanketing the ground provide a natural playground for kids. Such timeless fun creates cherished memories guaranteed to last forever.
Renting out the property includes a covered pavilion, fire pit, tables + chairs, the entire barn, and several more amenities. Make your Christmastime wedding or other event absolutely enchanting in this spellbinding setting.
One of the area's most popular locations for photography sessions, families flock to Holiday Acres each year because it makes such a stunning backdrop for Christmas card pictures. Click here for more information about scheduling a shoot.
